I’m amazed at how complicated it seems to be to operate the Boron LTE in Canada. I’m loosing confidence in the product unless I can get support from particle on how to enable LTE on the Boron in Canada without spending the next month or so making it work. For instance, why the h… is the particle onboard sim not working on the Telus network and/or failbacking on the standard LTE network for testing purposes. How are we supposed to run some basic test or proof of concept on the product without a workable LTE product ? Folks at Particle, some hel is needed. Thanks

Note: Particle’s MVNO will provide support for LTE M1 connectivity in the US upon initial release. Not in the region? Check out the Boron 2G/3G Kit. See the cellular FAQ for details.

@natedog was the first to be able to connect to LTE CAT-M1 in Canada using a 3rd party SIM from Telus while @trickster seems to be having issues. This tells me that LTE M1 is still not quite fully baked in Canada. Nonetheless, I hope that Particle is negotiating with “the big three” to make it possible to connect in Canada using the Particle SIM. In the meantime, I have been using the 2G/3G Boron without problems.

its important to realize that cellular is hard…there are so many variables involved, and to ensure everything works well and smoothly for a final product means lots of hours burnt in coding, late night hours, blood, sweat and tears and some good luck!

thankfully that’s were Particle comes in, they make a lot of that seem so easy!!

as far as I know, the only operator Particle has a partnership with in Canada is with Rogers…and lofty Robbers, still don’t have LTE-M Cat1 in production yet despite promises like the following, end of 2018 has gone and no news of Cat1 rollout in Ontario yet…sadly Particle only has partnership with Rogers until now.

Toronto-based national telecom service provider Rogers has announced plans to launch an LTE-M network to power internet of things (IoT) devices.
According to an October 18th, 2018 media release, Rogers will first roll out its LTE-M network in Ontario...

hoping they are working with Telus to get something going specifically for IoT application

so many people are confused by LTE for smartphones and LTE for IoT two very different animals!
